This role sits at the intersection of operations, data, and automation, with a clear mandate to modernise how Supply Chain is run end-to-end.


This isn’t a traditional supply chain role. It’s about moving beyond spreadsheets, leveraging AI and automation, and building scalable systems that can support rapid growth.

* Deliver cost savings and margin improvements across the supply chain


Influence & Lead

* Work cross-functionally with Demand Planning, Commercial, and Finance
* Support S&OP processes to align demand and supply
* Communicate risks, trade-offs, and opportunities to stakeholders
* (Senior level) Lead initiatives and support development of junior team members



What They’re Looking For


Experience

* Background in supply chain, operations, or supply planning within FMCG, retail, or D2C
* Combination of \"Blue Chip\" Global companies and Fast Growth challenger start-up/scale-ups
* Experience managing suppliers and/or contract manufacturers
* Exposure to end-to-end supply planning and S&OP environments


AI & Automation (Key Focus)

* Strong interest in applying emerging tech to real operational challenges
* Proven ability to identify inefficiencies and build scalable solutions


Technical & Analytical

* Advanced Excel / Google Sheets
* Strong data manipulation and analytical capability
* Experience working with supply chain KPIs and performance metrics
* Exposure to ERP, planning systems, or BI tools is a plus


Mindset

* High ownership and proactive problem-solving approach
* Comfortable in fast-paced, ambiguous environments
* Strong communicator with commercial awareness
* Process-driven with a focus on continuous improvement


Why This Role?

* Be part of a business scaling rapidly with a strong sustainability mission
* Work in a role with real ownership and visibility
* Play a key part in transforming supply chain through AI and automation
* Join a team that values pace, innovation, and impact over process for process’ sake


Process

* Initial screening interview
